Sòm 53

1 Pou direktè koral la; selon mizik Mahalath Yon refleksyon pa David Moun fou a di nan kè li: “Nanpwen Bondye”. Yo konwonpi! Yo fè zak enjis ki abominab. Nanpwen ki fè sa ki bon.

TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have done corruptly, Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

2 Bondye te gade anba soti nan syèl la sou fis a lòm yo, pou wè si genyen youn ki gen bon konprann, ka p chache Bondye.

God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

3 Yo tout te vire akote. Ansanm yo vin konwonpi. Nanpwen nan yo ki fè byen, pa menm youn.

Everyone went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good—not even one.

4 Èske malfektè a mechanste (sila) yo pa gen okenn konesans, ka p manje pèp Mwen an konsi se pen yo manje, epi ki pa rele Bondye?

Workers of iniquity have not known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, They have not called God.

5 La, yo te nan gwo laperèz kote pa te gen laperèz, paske Bondye te gaye zo a (sila) ki fè kan kont ou yo. Ou te fè yo vin wont, akoz Bondye te rejte yo.

There they feared a fear—there was no fear, For God has scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against you, You have put to shame, For God has despised them.

6 O ke delivrans Israël ta parèt sòti Sion! Lè Bondye restore pèp kaptif Li a, kite Jacob rejwi, kite Israël fè kè kontan.

Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
